Rapp-it is suitable on air, water and slurry pipework, as well as cyclone feeds and leach lines found widely throughout gold mines.
The customer advised the pipe mainly consisted of water with a small amount of fine ore particles (gold / copper) being sent back to the processing plant. The ore was very abrasive, and a small hole had worn out the pipe before the valve. Shutting down the gold plant to replace the pipe would have been costly.
The customer roughened and cleaned the damaged area of the pipe before applying Rapp-it Steel Putty over the hole. They then applied a Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandage (100mm x 9m) to the pipe before the valve. The customer successfully repaired the damaged pipe without having to shut down the processing facility.
“We are using your pipe repair product almost daily — it keeps the show on the road.”
